 * (x/gov,cli) [#14718](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/14718) Added `AddGovPropFlagsToCmd` and `ReadGovPropFlags` functions.
 * (x/bank) [#14894](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/14894) Return a human readable denomination for IBC vouchers when querying bank balances. Added a `ResolveDenom` parameter to `types.QueryAllBalancesRequest` and `--resolve-denom` flag to `GetBalancesCmd()`.
 * (x/groups) [#14879](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/14879) Add `Query/Groups` query to get all the groups.
+* (x/genutil,cli) [#15147](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/15147) Add `--initial-height` flag to cli init cmd to provide `genesis.json` with user defined initial block height
